What do you hope to contribute as a member of the Diocesan Assembly Committee?
As a relatively “new” member to the diocese and a representative of the young adult population I hope to bring the perspective and enthusiasm of the up and coming generation within the Church. I also hope to represent those recent settlers of the High Plains.

Prayer for One's Vocation in Life (version I picked up once)
Lord Jesus, make me a better person, more considerate of others, more honest with myself and more faithful to you. Holy Spirit, help me find my vocation in life. Give me the generosity and the want to do your will and the strength to carry it out faithfully.
-Amen
